 Started in 1985 when Mr. Ow Yong Mian Fatt, now the
company's managing director, commercialised the family's business using the family's
'home-made' recipe and method of producing kaya or coconut jam packed under the brand
'Sunny' the meaning of which is bright and cheery.
Special grade farm fresh eggs are delivered daily. Fresh coconut
milk from selected ripe old coconuts is extracted in the factory and immediately put in
the slow cooker. Juice from fresh pandan (screwpine) leaves are used instead of articial
flavours. The kaya is double-boiled in a slow cooker at simmering temperature over a time
of more than six hours. This is where the home made taste and goodness is. That is what
makes 'Sunny' kaya superior.
Made under the strictest hygienic conditions, the product
is not touched by human hands even once in the process, as everything
is handled by machines.
Uses
'Sunny' kaya is available in two
variants, viz, pandan and caramel. The one with caramel hides the
eggy smell whereas the pandan flavoured brings out the taste of delicious
eggs. It blends deliciously with butter or margarine and other jams
as well. Besides bread, 'Sunny' kaya can also be consumed when spread
on biscuits (cream crackers), toasted bread, sandwich bread, waffle
cakes, buns (man-tau), muffins, rice dumplings (chang), 'lemang and
ketupat' (local favourites), roti canai, pizza, etc.
Storage
It is best to store 'Sunny' kaya in the chiller or refrigerator at an optimum temperature
of 4 degree Celsius or below. Before use, you can warm it up in a microwave oven or a
steamer to bring out the aroma of real fresh home-made kaya.
